US EditionStars Need More Production From Their Stars to Avoid Elimination
- As of May 2025, the Dallas Stars advanced to face the Edmonton Oilers in a best-of-seven series for the Western Conference championship in Edmonton, AB.
- The Stars reached this stage after scoring 13 goals in the second round, with Mikko Rantanen and Mikael Granlund accounting for seven goals, but now face challenges due to uneven scoring and an injury to Roope Hintz.
- Dallas has struggled to score consistently, going nearly 100 minutes without a goal on goalie Stuart Skinner through the first three games and losing 6-1 in Game 4, with only Jason Robertson scoring in that game.
- Rantanen, tied for the playoff lead with nine goals but scoreless against Edmonton, said, "It’s frustrating," and emphasized the need to finish chances better five on five while coach Peter DeBoer noted "good signs in our game" and optimism about their comeback chances.
- The Stars remain in the series down 2-1, needing more offense from top players and potentially the return of Hintz, while analysts note Dallas’s opportunistic play despite being outplayed, suggesting the series remains competitive.
